Whirlwind of Activity

I am definitely in the middle of a little whirlwind of art filled activity.  Something bit me threw me into Idea Overload.  This is all well and good with me.  Of course my goals are to get myself published in one of the art magazines that I love, author a book and use my art to create other things.

Right now I am working on a couple of 7×14 paintings on canvas, my personal art journal and a couple of handmade books that I began just to see if I could do it.

I am working on a few specific pieces for ‘calls and/or challenges’ from some of my favorite magazines:

‘Art Journaling’ Magazine by Stampington    has an open call for inspirational and beautiful art journals (August 15 and February 15)

‘Somerset Memories’ : artful journals destined to become keepsakes. (may 15 and nov. 15)

‘Somerset studios, the art of paper and mixed media                

‘Cheerful Chartreuse ‘   There is something about this shade of green that makes people smile. It is a bold, vivid, and friendly color. It’s found just about everywhere — from wall colors and couture dresses to yarn and cardstock — making it a fun color to work with.  Accent your tintype collection with chartreuse; adopt an entirely new color palette — the choice is yours. Just send your color experiments in for possible publication in the January/February 2012 issue.
Deadline for artwork to be received: August 15, 2011.
